ANSWER_ IFRS is meant to create consistency and comparability in international
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz
markets. One of the limitations of IFRS is the complexity of reporting for equity i
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz
nvestments that are meant to provide information to shareholders for decision-
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz
making purposes. Many private companies are held by a small group of sharehol
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz
ders who are often involved in the running of the business or have access to that i
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz
nformation. As a result, the cost of applying more complex accounting policies ou
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz
tweighs the benefit of the information provided to this closely held group of share
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz
holders. To address this, the Accounting

Standards Board developed the Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises to me
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz
et the needs of private
xz xz xz xz
enterprises. Private enterprises have the option to adopt IFRS or ASPE depending
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz
on the needs of the financial statement users.
